This week, Jason is joined by fan favorites of Netflix’s The Circle. John Franklin and Alyssa Ljub!

John and Alyssa were participants on season four of the hit reality TV show The Circle. As contestants, they maneuvered their way through a game in which they can only communicate with other contestants via texts on a specialized social media platform. Although neither of them were crowned the champion of their season, they have each been able to generate strong social media followings after their season wrapped up in May 2022. In addition to their social media influencing, both John and Alyssa have started to carve their own ways into separate specific careers, John being in stand up comedy and Alyssa being in sex relationship coaching. 

John and Alyssa give insight to how they ended up on The Circle, why John ended up going on as a Catfish, where they are currently living and what they pay, what Alyssa’s advice is when it comes to improving your credit score, how they talk about money to each other, the connection between conversations of sex and money, and how they feel about the whole influencing career path after being on reality TV.  John and Alyssa also reveal the details to their respective careers, the distinction between sex coach and sex therapist, the behind the scenes of the sex coaching industry, the importance of sex ed and financial literacy, the reality behind starting a comedy career, what John’s first tight five was, how TikTok has changed the comedy industry, his best advice for getting through a rough patch during a presentation, and the importance of pivoting. Who was Alyssa working for when she was casted on The Circle? Who made more on the show? What is a tight five?
